The Dogmother Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 snorts! The lamb ended up living with Lesley, and has fathered lots of his own lambs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 My car has a little secret compartment between the front seats where I stash a few fivers. I don't always take a handbag out with me so it's come in handy a few times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Hand cream, small antibacs hand gel, lipsalve, high viz vest, spare child booster seat, book to read whilst waiting for school to kick out, pen, notepad, reading glasses for aforesaid book, bag for rubbish - currently empty as dustbin men come tomorrow - instruction book for car, assorted walnuts and conkers - all wrinkled (school has a walnut tree in the grounds and I park under a conker tree.) Dust, leaves and some racy go-faster floor mats that were bargains at 99p each. Oh, and not forgetting the nut that holds the wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 OH, Bramble, that could be from my car, except the dog stuff, but have instead a reel of fine lead solder, a pair if OH's boots, and a lock-and-lock of meal worms for when we visit some hens we know. OH once had a rather desiccated banana returned to her after a service an clean, just in case she was wanted it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Our local hand car wash is £10 for cleaning inside and outside. Last time I took my car to be washed there I was so embarrassed about the state of the car that I tipped them a few quid extra. I'm sure they have seen worse, but £10 just seems ridiculously cheap to me! I can go one better than that. I once had one of these places REFUSE to do my car I used to deep litter my old car, the boot was over a foot deep in stuff and when I sold it I found all sorts in it from clothes to tins of paint, I once found enough loose change in it to fill the entire fuel tank my current vehicle is full of the things I bought at The Horse of the Year show last week that I haven't told my husband about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angie Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 At present there are tissues on the dash board, screen wiper and ice s"Ooops, word censored!"er with a spray bottle of windscreen de-icer in the door pocket, a packet of foxes mints in the ash tray. My walking stick. On the rear seat is a booster seat and a back pack my grandson has left. In the boot a dog cage folded flat, more tissues and toilet roll ( just in case ) shopping bags and my wheelchair. A bottle of screen wash and an unopened lt bottle of engine oil ( just in case ). And it could do with a good hovering, but not till I've taken some bags of garden rubbish to the recycle yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 At the moment I have a huge bin bag full of newspapers in the back and some shredded paper in separate bags. I went to visit my mum yesterday and she saves them for me. I'm intending to do that "no dig" thing in the garden and the papers will be my mulch. Shredded paper is for the Cube poo trays and nestbox (redundant at the moment due to that time of year when it looks like a pillow fight everywere in the garden and in the cube). As DS got out of the car this morning I spotted something previously forgotten about - the 2 hand books for English Heritage and NT. Well if we are out somewhere and fancy a trip to this that or the other, we can have a look and see opening times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Webmuppet Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I have my gym kit bag, swim kit bag, a car rug, selection of shopping bags, a car rug, several half used cans of de-icer, a pile of CDs, a loo roll (hey I'm a Mum loll roll is sooooo versatile) two sachets of ketchup , a pile of supermarket receipts and bizarrely a cross from Church that was given out on Palm Sunday. There was a bag of kids books but I finally gave them to charity today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Ali-s - you must be a murderer as in all the crime dramas the criminal has tape and scissors - any one found anything embarassing? Like undies or worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Well I hope I wouldn't find undies - it means I've loose elastic. But I rather fancy having a roll of duct tape around just in case of emergencies. If you can make a boat fit to sail with it, then it's good enough for quick repairs!

The Dogmother Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I had mine cleaned at the weekend after someone commented that it was like a cross between a skip and a dog kennel. It now looks far too shiny... next time I think I will ask them to clean just the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Took the boys to the dentists this afternoon and, when I opened the boot in the Waitrose car park in Henley to put in the few bits and bobs that we had bought, realised that I still had a huge long black woollen cape (from our re enacting days) a small cauldron (ditto) a beesom broomstick and tall pointed hat.........I know what you are thinking and I have been called that on many occasions but actually leftovers from reading Room on the Broom and various Winnie books with Reception last week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JellyBean2605 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I have a pair of sunglasses in my car and I have absolutely no idea who's they are or how they came to be there! They're huge! My car has endless empty chewing gum packs and petrol receipts, a case of dodgy CDs, a lumber support, a coat that work gave me that I'll never wear cause it doesn't cover my bum, my address book, my home visit bag, a Doppler case and a stuffed toy chicken liberated from my little brother.

Chepstow John Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 My car is full of my ex partner's possessions.....I wanted them out of the house when she walked out on me and the 5 kids to set up home with someone else. They can stay there until I pass my driving test and if not claimed I will dispose of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
